The lawsuit has not seen progress. Instead we are gathering data from victims of the theft to assist in any future solution to this case through the authorities and iota foundation.
Bounties are being created through donations from the victims and their supporters. These bounties are to be rewarded in IOTA. There is a need for tools to be created for further validation and tracking of lost funds. These will be open source under GPL. Check back here for a list of tasks and awards.
